New Jersey SCR56 amends the state Constitution to explicitly grant public employees the right to collective bargaining.

New Jersey SCR56 proposes an amendment to the state Constitution to explicitly grant public employees the right to engage in collective bargaining. Currently, public employees can form unions and submit grievances and proposals, but collective bargaining is not explicitly stated as a right. This amendment would require collective negotiation with employee representatives. The amendment will be submitted to voters at the next general election, more than three months after final agreement.
